Hi,

I'm trying to convert this test to TAP as I think the failures
sometimes go
unnoticed on CI systems if we only depend on the return value of the
application. I've enabled the following configurations which aren't
already
present in tools/testing/selftests/mm/config:
CONFIG_MEMORY_FAILURE=y
CONFIG_HWPOISON_INJECT=m

I'll send a patch to add these configs later. Right now I'm trying to
investigate the failure when we are trying to inject the poison page by
madvise(MADV_HWPOISON). I'm getting device busy every single time. The
test
fails as it doesn't expect any business for the hugetlb memory. I'm not
sure if the poison handling code has issues or test isn't robust enough.

I'm testing on v6.7-rc8. Not sure if this was working previously or not.

Thanks for reporting this, Usama!

I am also able to repro MADV_HWPOISON failure at "501a06fe8e4c
(akpm/mm-stable, mm-stable) zswap: memcontrol: implement zswap
writeback disabling."

Then I checked out the earliest commit "ba91e7e5d15a (HEAD -> Base)
selftests/mm: add tests for HWPOISON hugetlbfs read". The
MADV_HWPOISON injection works and and the test passes:

... HugeTLB read HWPOISON test...

I think something in between broken MADV_HWPOISON on hugetlbfs, and we
should be able to figure it out via bisection (and of course by
reading delta commits between them, probably related to page
refcount).
Thank you for this information.


That being said, I will be on vacation from tomorrow until the end of
next week. So I will get back to this after next weekend. Meanwhile if
you want to go ahead and bisect the problematic commit, that will be
very much appreciated.
I'll try to bisect and post here if I find something.
Found the culprit commit by bisection:

a08c7193e4f18dc8508f2d07d0de2c5b94cb39a3
mm/filemap: remove hugetlb special casing in filemap.c

Thanks Usama!


hugetlb-read-hwpoison started failing from this patch. I've added the
author of this patch to this bug report.

Hi Usama,

Thanks for pointing this out. After debugging, the below diff seems to fix
the issue and allows the tests to pass again. Could you test it on your
configuration as well just to confirm.

Thanks,
Sidhartha

Sidhartha, just curious why this change is needed? Does
PageHasHWPoisoned change after commit
"a08c7193e4f18dc8508f2d07d0de2c5b94cb39a3"?


No its not an issue PageHasHWPoisoned(), the original code is testing for the wrong flag and I realized that has_hwpoison and hwpoison are two different flags. The memory-failure code calls folio_test_set_hwpoison() to set the hwpoison flag and does not set the has_hwpoison flag. When debugging, I realized this if statement was never true despite the code hitting folio_test_set_hwpoison(). Now we are testing the correct flag.

From page-flags.h

#ifdef CONFIG_MEMORY_FAILURE
PG_hwpoison, /* hardware poisoned page. Don't touch */
#endif

folio_test_hwpoison() checks this flag ^^^

/* At least one page in this folio has the hwpoison flag set */
PG_has_hwpoisoned = PG_error,

while folio_test_has_hwpoisoned() checks this flag ^^^


Thanks,
Sidhartha

Tested the patch, it fixes the test. Please send this patch.
